Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft I created this blend with the intention of formulating the most foundational wellness blend I possibly could. Bringing together herbs known to be bedrocks for certain systems. Astragalus is an outstanding immunomodulating herb known for its ability to help restore balance to the immune system. Hawthorn Leaf and Berry are noted to be the most well documented heart health herbs on the planet. Stinging Nettle is one of the most nutrient dense herbs that is abundant in nature and provides this abundance in full to our bodies. Eleuthero Root is the original adaptogen which all other adaptogens have been researched upon. Its ability to stabilize and restore adrenals and nervous system health is astonishing. Gotu Kola is my favorite nootropic herb offering circulatory support to our brains and bodies. To support the circulation and absorption of these herbs; mint, ginger and cinnamon bring a delightful flavor with purpose. Lemongrass insisted on joining in the blend and wouldn't take no for an answer. Once considering this, I realized that such a grounding blend most certainly could benefit from a spiritually lifting herb to keep it balanced. If I only drink one tea each day, it would be this blend.
